User-Agent: Mozilla/4.72 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17 i686) BuildID: 2001072408 Most of the time, selecting an absolute URL link goes to the same site as the current page, instead of the actual site. Sometimes this happens with the personal bookmark toolbar and other bookmarks as well. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Pick a story on LinuxToday that has a link to an outside site. 2. Click the link. 3. Watch the 404 page from linuxtoday.com come up as Mozilla treats it as a relative link.

Scott Anderson: please provide a specific story on linuxtoday where you see this. All the stories I've tried work fine with all links within it.

All of the external links do this, albeit not every time. LinuxToday was just an example of a site where there are a lot of outside links. I also get the problem when the browser first starts up and loads my home page (google.com). If I use a Personal Toolbar button, the link gets treated as relative, resulting in a 404 from google.com. As an example, clicking on my Slashdot button just brings up the google.com page again, and clicking on the ZDNN button (www.zdnet.com/zdnn) attempts to load www.google.com/zdnn. Generally, clicking on a button twice will bring up the real site as long as there is something behind the site name; ie. www.zdnet.com/zdnn will work the second time, but www.slashdot.com will only bring up the google.com page every time. Mozilla has basically become unusable for me because of this bug.

Scott, are you using a proxy server like Junkbuster?
